A visitor writes from the page; the message reaches you in Telegram (and, on request, WhatsApp or MAX), and your reply appears back in the chat window on the site. This plugin does one thing: it prints the widget script tag with the widget ID you saved in the settings. There is no dashboard inside WordPress, no extra database tables and no background work. #### What it does * Adds the chat widget to every page of the site. * Keeps one setting: the widget ID from your WidgetChat account. * Removes that setting when the plugin is deleted. #### What it does not do * It makes **no requests from your server** — not on activation, not on a schedule, not ever. * It **does not track visitors** and stores nothing about them in WordPress. * It has **no time-limited trial** and no locked features: the plugin is fully functional as it is shipped. #### Service used by this plugin The chat itself is a hosted service, so the plugin is only useful together with it. The script tag it prints makes the **visitor’s browser** load `https://api. widgetchat.ru/widget/bozex-support-widget.js` and exchange messages with that address. What the visitor sends — the text they type, the files they attach and the page address they wrote from — is processed by the service so that you can answer. * Service: [widgetchat.ru](https://widgetchat.ru/) * Terms of use: [widgetchat.ru/terms/](https://widgetchat.ru/terms/) * Privacy policy: [widgetchat.ru/privacy/](https://widgetchat.ru/privacy/) * How the widget works: [widgetchat.ru/docs/widget/](https://widgetchat.ru/docs/widget/) If your site shows a cookie or consent banner, note that the widget stores a visitor identifier in the browser so a returning visitor sees the same conversation. Mention it in your own privacy notice. ## Screenshots [⌊The chat window on the site: the visitor asks, the reply comes back from Telegram.⌉⌊ The chat window on the site: the visitor asks, the reply comes back from Telegram .⌉[ The chat window on the site: the visitor asks, the reply comes back from Telegram. ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Create an account at [widgetchat.ru](https://widgetchat.ru/), add your site and copy the widget ID — it starts with `wc_`. 3. Open **Settings WidgetChat**, paste the widget ID and save. 4. Open your site in a private window: the chat button appears in the corner. To switch the chat off, clear the widget ID and save — the plugin stays installed and prints nothing. ## FAQ ### Do I need an account on the service? Yes. The widget ID is issued in the WidgetChat account and identifies your site, so the plugin cannot work without one. ### Where do the messages arrive? In Telegram, in a separate topic per visitor. WhatsApp and MAX are connected on request from the account. Replies from any of them appear in the chat window on the site. ### Does the plugin slow the site down? The script tag is loaded asynchronously and does not block rendering. WordPress itself does no extra work: the plugin adds one tag and reads one option. ### Can I change the widget appearance from WordPress? No. Colours, texts, the operator avatar and the button icon are set in the WidgetChat account — that way the same settings apply wherever the widget is installed. ### How do I remove everything? Delete the plugin: the single stored option is removed with it. The conversations live in the service, not in WordPress, and deleting the plugin does not delete them — remove the site in your account for that. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WidgetChat — live chat for your site” is open source software.
